My doubt now is whether I can change the way python show the combinations.
I mean, here's what python actually does:
for prod in itertools.product('abc', repeat=3):
print(prod)
('a', 'a', 'a')
('a', 'a', 'b')
('a', 'a', 'c')
('a', 'b', 'a')
('a', 'b', 'b')
('a', 'b', 'c')
[...] etc.
what if I want the combinations listed in a... well, in a list, kind of like
this:
('aaa', 'aab', aac', 'aba', 'abb', 'abc' [...]etc.)
can I do that?
I have checked how the function works (see below), perhaps I have to just
change couple of lines of the code and voilá, the result displayed as I
want... But unfortunately I'm too newbie for this, or this is too hardcore:
def product(*args, **kwds):
# product('ABCD', 'xy') --> Ax Ay Bx By Cx Cy Dx Dy
# product(range(2), repeat=3) --> 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111
pools = map(tuple, args) * kwds.get('repeat', 1)
result = [[]]
for pool in pools:
result = [x+[y] for x in result for y in pool]
for prod in result:
yield tuple(prod)
Any ideas will be very much appreciated.

Well itertools.product() already returns an iterator that's equivalent
to a list of tuples. You can print that list simply by doing something
like:
print list(itertools.product('abc', repeat=3))
So your question is how you can transform such a list into a list of
strings instead.
so try each of the following.
for prod in itertools.product('abc', repeat=3):
print "".join(prod)
print ["".join(prod) for prod in itertools.product('abc', repeat=3)]
